The first verses and refrain of Horatio Spafford's hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" have been running through my mind of late. What a lovely picture of contentment independent of circumstance. Dear friends for you I pray: "Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance." Jude 1:2(NIV)

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,When sorrows like sea billows roll;Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,It is well, with my soul,It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Even the darkness is not dark to you, and the night is as bright as the day; darkness and light are alike to you. For you formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in your book were all written the days that were ordained for me; when as yet there was not one of them.
